1. Background The Fiji Electricity Authority (FEA)
The FEA is a wholly Government of Fiji owned statutory body that was established under the Electricity Act of 1966. It is supervised by a Board of eight members comprising a Chairman, Deputy Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer of FEA, the Permanent Secretary of Public Utilities, the Permanent Secretary of Finance, and representatives of Business and Consumer Groups. All members are appointed by the Minister of Public Utilities except for the Chief Executive of FEA, who is appointed by the Board with approval of the Minister. The Management team of the FEA consists of Chief Executive, Chief Finance Officer, General Manager Human Relations, General Manager Generation, General Manager Network, General Manager Customer Services, Chief Information Officer, General Manager Major Projects & Strategy and General Manager Commercial.
FEA maintains power supply systems on the larger islands Viti Levu, Vanua Levu and Ovalau, which account for some 90% of the country’s population. Installed generation capacity is approximately 218MW, comprising 83MW in the Monasavu Hydro Scheme in Viti Levu, 40MW in the Nadarivatu Hydro Scheme, and about 94MW of diesel capacity in 12 stations on the three main islands. Of the diesel capacity 77MW is on Viti Levu which has been supplementing the Monasavu hydro scheme for the Viti Levu Interconnected System (VLIS) which has been reaching maximum demand of 132MW. Transmission is provided by 140km of 132kV lines (connecting Wailoa Power Station to the East and West coasts) and about 266km of 33kV lines. Power distribution is by means of more than 5,000km of 11kV and 415/240V lines.
2. Project Overview
Project Drivers
FEA has embarked upon an ambitious program of development in order to fulfil its strategic objectives. These include development of new generating and power system projects as well as improving reliability and capacity-building for future load growth. The FEA plans to almost double the generation capacity of Fiji over the next five years in order to meet continuing demand growth and intends that this additional capacity will be provided by renewable or at least non-polluting resources. Recent load and system forecasts conducted both internally and by ADB, have shown that peaking capacity will not be adequate by 2011 if standard operational parameters for spinning reserve are followed. Further the generation capacity planning undertaken by FEA and the resultant least-cost long-term capacity plan to meet system demand indicated that FEA must tap into all potential renewable energy sources, provided they could be economically justified.

Project Summary The Japanese International Cooperation Agency [JICA] had carried out an independent feasibility study of hydropower potential at the Waivaka Site. The feasibility study was carried out in conjunction with the Department of Energy, under the Ministry of Works, Transport and Public Utilities. Initial feasibility by JICA shows a potential hydropower scheme at the Waivaka Site with a maximum output of 32MW and Annual Generation potential of about 67.6 GWh. FEA later engaged a consultant, Montgomery Watson Harza NZ Limited [MWH], to carry out a peer review of the JICA Feasibility Study and guide FEA on the way forward. The MWH review concluded that fatal flaws existed in the hydrological assessment undertaken for the Waivaka Scheme.
